Unless I can substitute other WCP extra-long shafts and cut them to length, I will have to wait on AndyMark to restock.
By the way, I also discovered this morning that Rhino3D for Mac has a 90-day trial license, and works great to open the STEP files AndyMark provides. After the trial expires, the installation notes tell me it will stop saving but will still open and view files. Might be all I ever need on my Mac!

Why don't you just download inventor (it's free for students and probably teachers) or apply for Solidworks licences next year.
Recently my wife and I met some mentors from Michigan with their wives at Disney World. It seems that I'm not the only mentor who needs to bribe their wives with vacations before they sign up to mentor FRC for another year... - Mark Holschuh [more]
